(btw, for all iran’s theocracy, they have more abortion rights than the USA now has)
“This isnt happening to brown people” is really the best they can do
Liberal chauvinism. Crackers are superior because they are enlightened and progressive, not bigoted, not like the swarthy savages
Liberals always have to qualify their statements about something horrific happening in America by expressing shock that it’s happening here and not just some boogeyman country, as if it’s some kind of aberration in America, i.e. “this isn’t who we are”, etc., when said horrific thing is actually a perfect distillation of this shithole country and everything it stands for.
Abortions are actually legal in Iran if there’s a danger to the mother.
Just saying.
The difference between American theocrats and Iranian theocrats is that the Iranian ones have actually read their holy book and occasionally do policy that happens to be good while the Americans have never read it and ignore all the good things in favor of what they personally like
While abortion is not actually referenced in the Qur’an, infanticide is specifically condemned, and this has been used as an argument to keep abortion illegal in most or all cases in which it might be sought. The sections of the Qur’an that detail the importance of health for women have been used to combat this argument,[4] and have been moderately successful at changing the legislation against abortion enacted after 1979. Nowadays, most Islamic legal schools of thought hold that the ensoulment of a fetus takes place four months after conception, which has extended the discussion of abortion in many nations and communities that base their judicial codes off of Islamic law; in Iran, a consensus has recently developed that abortion is legitimate if it is before this four-month mark.[5]
Tfw hardline Islamic clerics can still find leeway to be more reasonable than the Republicans.
Normal and sane country
You’re telling on yourself when you compare another place to America as if it is somehow “inferior.”
This is doubly stupid when you’re comparing it to fucking Ohio.
